Personalized Mothers and Fathers Day Gifts by Initials Giveaway

April 15, 2010 by Momstart 171 Comments

Initials, inc, a wonderful company that personalizes all items that are sold. Initials sent me a huge tote that I was able to personalize. I love it! It is so big it could hold one of the kids. Look at it:

It’s almost as big as the chair! I put Mom Start on it in big pink letters. It’s my only personalized bag and I can’t wait to tote it around at conferences and at the beach when I go visit my mom in Florida this year. Woo Hoo, I’m going to be on the beach.

The kids have already put some toys in it.

Part of the appeal of Initials is that they are a company that moms can work part time. It’s like Party-Lite, you can throw parties to sell the bags, and other personalized items. I mean, the items pretty much sell themselves because of how cute they are. The fonts are adorable and add just the right touch to pretty much any regular item.

A little bit about Initials, Inc:

Initials, Inc. was founded by Sisters – Britney Vickery and Ivy Hall shortly after becoming SAHM’s. During that time they loved being home with their children but found that they were seeking three things; to be challenged creatively, to have time around other adults and to be able to contribute financially to their homes…but they didn’t want to give up time with their young families to get it. Initials, Inc. was created to meet those needs as women and new mothers. Over time, they quickly realized that the solution that they created for themselves could be a blessing to other women. Initials, Inc. officially launched in February 2005. Today, Initials, Inc. is national in scope and is supporting women and families all across the country through home parties selling their customer designed personalized treasures!

-We believe, “There’s Only One You!” and that is embodied by the products and opportunities offered to our customers and our Creative Partners.

Interior Design – Decorating my Son’s room with The Studio Danielson Designs

January 21, 2010 by Momstart 15 Comments

Back in June when right before my life was turned upside down with buying and selling a house Danielson Designs offered to send me a personalized wall plaque. I said yes and right after that everything went crazy. We sold our house and I had to pack it up as soon as it arrived, I was very sad because it deserved to be hung up immediately.

Now that I’ve been in my house for over four months I have realized that I haven’t gotten to decorating anything. Putting up the tree and a few nicknacks was all we did for Christmas and after taking all the decorations down the house looked too empty. Too Plain!

With completely blank walls staring back at me, I was terrified to put a brand new nail hole in the wall. These are virgin walls don’t you know! The inspiration to start putting holes in my walls came from my Christmas present. For Christmas I received a bunch of picture frames. My husband picked them out and filled them with photos. So then I just had to put a hole in the wall.

Since we were finally courageous enough to start putting holes in the wall we decided that we could hang up the plaque in Mile’s room.

Miles Elliot, “You will always be LOVED. ALL THE WAY to the moon & back!” These words are so true. My kids are my world. Now, I’m not where near done decorating the house or deciding what to put where. This is in Mile’s room above the changing table. It’s the only thing on the wall for now, and it’s centered horizontally between the window and the closet and centered vertically between the ceiling and the changing table. My husband has the laser leveler and loves using it. He’s actually a little OCD if you know what I mean. But we still love him. So it was a project we did together. I told him where and he did the hanging.

I realize now I should have taken another photo of the entire wall so you could get a little more perspective but at least you can see how nice the plaque looks. It’s solid wood with the design painted on. I love it. I’m very grateful for the free product that The Studio Danielson Designs sent me.

The Studio ships orders in 48 hours and designing is done is 3 easy steps. First, you choose a product template from their extensive gallery. I chose the Child’s Name Sign that retails for 39.95. You can watch the demo if you want but it’s so easy. Second step is to change the text that you are allowed to personalize and or choose the color option you want. The third step is to save design and add to cart. Easy!

They have Personalized Plaques, personalized picture frames, personalized awards, and personalized monograms. It took me a long time to decide, but since I was still in my old house the only room I could think we needed something in was Mile’s. Now, I need something for my own room.

They sent me this free product with no expectations of posting. They just “hoped” I would like it enough to post about it, and I do!!!
